Cupping

Cupping is an ancient art of healing used in Asian cultures for centuries. Nothing works better at opening up and releasing joints, connective tissue and muscles than the use of plastic cups applied to the skin using suction to create negative pressure and movement. Stubborn conditions, such as back pain and hip pain, that may have been present for decades are easily resolved with Cupping.

One misinterpretation of the marks that sometimes occur as result of Cupping is that they are bruises. What these marks under the skin are, post Cupping, is dead cellular debris and toxins being drawn out of the body. Some capillary seepage occurs, but it is minimal to the acidic agents being removed. Nothing pulls the body free of radical poisonous molecular debris better than suction.
